Ceist:

224 Mr. Farrelly asked the Minister for the Environment if he intends to introduce reconstruction grants for people whose homes are in need of repair and whose incomes are too low to enable them to make repayments on loans; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13562/97]

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment (Mr. Molloy)
